6. Bennett's fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennett's_fracture

   Bennett's fracture. The Bennett fracture is an oblique intraarticular metacarpal fracture dislocation, caused by an axial force directed against the partially flexed metacarpal.

7. Crack tip opening displacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_tip_opening_displacement

   The critical load and strain gauge measurements at the load are noted and a graph is plotted. The crack tip opening can be calculated from the length of the crack and opening at the mouth of the notch. According to the material used, the fracture can be brittle or ductile which can be concluded from the graph.

9. Hand injury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_injury

   Fractures of the fingers occur when the finger or hands hit a solid object. Fractures are most common at the base of the little finger (boxer's fracture). Nerve injuries occur as a result of trauma, compression or over-stretching. Nerves send impulses to the brain about sensation and also play an important role in finger movement.
